The hunting season is only a couple of months long so I spent the rest of the time plinking and pesting to improve my effective range. I use a one-inch target as a reference as it represents the kill-zone on pests, squirrels and rabbits. You see a lot of nice groups from people target shooting...

I have two slug capable PCPs (a .22/700 Impact MK2 and a .22/700 Panthera) and I'm considering setting up to swage my own slugs. It's currently winter in Canada and too cold to test for the best diameter but because of delivery lead time I'd like to order the Corbin press and a set of dies to...

I just thought I'd mention that if walk and stalk isn't working well for squirrels, that you might want to try changing tactics, setting up a stand and taking long shots. I'm mostly into plinking and pesting but I do do a bit of squirrel hunting to collect some tails for fly tying and some meat...

Shooting distances are such that holding over is not working well for me so I’m going to be adding scope turret labels and dialing for extended range shooting. I’ve always been a plinker/pester and setup my all airguns for the best “point blank range”. Near Zero was 17 to 20 yards, far Zero 38...

I have a .22 caliber Daystate Wolverine R and was wondering if the difference between the regular power version and the high power one was just in the tune or are there differences in parts (hammer, hammer spring, plenum etc)? I've extended my shooting range out from 55 to 128 yards and am...

A recent thread about a .177 Panthera got me thinking about this again. They are available so there must be a demand for them, I just don't understand why. In spite of having a couple of them, I've always thought the .177 caliber to be ideal for springers but too small for the power of a...

In a recent post the poster was asking about a pellet pouch and a number of nice commercially available ones were suggested. I suggested a homemade pellet pouch on that thread and thought that I would start a new thread here to bring it to the attention to those who might want to make their...

I've often seen requests for help making an airgun purchase from people relatively new to airguns so I'll offer some generic advice. Hopefully other experienced shooters can add to the suggestions. I used to teach IT (information technology... computer stuff) at the college level and often...

I saw one of these on the forum and just finished making a Gun Cart for myself. Thought I would share it with you. I've seen similar carts used by the PB people but this on is specifically for airguns. I’m fortunate to have a backyard shooting range and can be plinking at a moment’s notice –...

An old deer hunting buddy called me up to ask about “BB-guns” so I invited him over to shoot a couple of different airguns. His first comment on seeing all the wind-indicator flags on my range was: “We’re having a parade?” Being a centerfire guy used to sub-30 yard shots in heavy brush he...

Pellet Tray When shooting I don’t like groveling in the pellet tin or fat-finger fumbling around trying to pick up a pellet so I made a pellet tray to make single-shot loading or filling a magazine easier. The tray provides a soft dished surface that is easy to pick up a pellet from. All the...

I do my tuning and testing at 40 yards. Figure that is far enough to see what is happening but not too far that I'm negatively impacting the results. I know what to expect with pellets and when the tune is as good as it's going to be. I'm getting into slugs and would appreciate comments on...

I have a Panthera .22/700 on coming and want to order some mid weight (25 to 34 grain) slugs to try out. So I ask, What diameter DIAMETER slugs are working well in the heavy liner and what is not. Any brand/weight/velocity recommendations or cautions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Would someone with a Panthera please measure and post the height of the magazine protruding above the picatinny rail. I need to figure out what height of scope rings to order. I know they will be "high" rings but in the absence of standards I need a measurement to work with. Thanks

Hi, I will be increasing my shooting distance (from 60 yards) out to 100-125 yards and am looking for scope recommendations for my new bench rifle. What magnification, FFP or SFP, etc. Been happy with my Helix scopes so I'm thinking about stepping up to the Elements Titan 5-25x56 which is...

I'd like to setup my Impact for the. 22 caliber JSB Monster Redesigns in preparation for trying KnockOuts later on. Does anyone have some velocities and reg pressures that they would recommend? I'm shooting an Impact MK2 with a 700mm barrel (I have both the pellet and slugs barrels). Any...

After a winter of heavy use I need to refresh (or replace) the ductseal in my pellet trap. Does anybody have a good way to separate pellets from the ductseal or is picking them out with a pair of needle nose pliers the only option? Lots of lead there and I would like to reclaim it for casting...

I like traditional wood stocks so I decided to add some wood to my Impact. The wood is "Buckthorn" which is very similar to Osage but more orange in color. Buckthorn is more of a large bush rather than a small tree that grows to about 25 feet tall and rarely more than 3" diameter; the wood has...

The JSB Knock-Outs have finally made it to Canada and I will be picking up a couple of tins for testing in my .22 (700 mm slug barrel) Impact MKII QUESTION IS: What diameter is working best for you (.216 or .217) and what velocity are you shooting at? Thanks for any input! Cheers! Hank
